Hello, & thank you for using Boop by Petco. I would wait at least another 2 weeks before using another topical. In the meantime, you can definitely use one of the oral cat flea products. You can purchase Capstar in most bigger pet stores. It only lasts 24 hours, but you can administer it several times a week until you can use another topical ( I recommend either Frontline Gold, or Bravecto for cats ). Or you can purchase Comfortis from your veterinarian. With this, 1 pill will last 30 days. I like Revolution, more because it gets heartworms plus hookworms & roundworms, but it is a topical, too. So use an oral tablet for now. They work great. Take care.

Yes that sounds like you cat might be having fleas so no harm at all if you want to start the treatment with appropriate dosage of one of the two. I would suggest to go for Advantage though as Frontline seems not working so well at the moment. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! In my opinion, the best two flea and tick preventative medications are Bravecto and Frontline plus. Any of those would be good options for him. Good luck and have a good night!

If you used the Frontline Plus on Nova, there should be no need to bathe her in a flea and tick shampoo. Cats are exquisitely sensitive to flea treatments, so keep a close eye on Love. If you see any signs of flea toxicity (agitation, vomiting, drooling, lethargy, face and ear twitching, walking "drunk"), you will need to take her into a vet immediately. This is close together, but the shampoo does rinse off and does not provide any lasting protection. She should be ok, but I do not recommend doing this again. Best of luck.

They are both equally as good for controlling fleas. Some people prefer one versus the other, but as far as the evidence goes they both work well to kill fleas. Frontline has the advantage that it also kills ticks. The advantage II also has this capability though. You may consider getting them both and seeing if you see a difference form month to month. Treating for fleas is not just restricted to the host, because fleas can reproduce and nest in the environment and continually cause an issue. Below is a link to a short article that explains treating the cats and environment for fleas: https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-tips-to-get-rid-of-fleas/ I hope that helps and all is well with Luci.
